But when I look at it, they won all the game 1 in first three rounds already. Arty just placed the puck in game 2 round 1 slot.

Literally a whole new squad of coaches, and you think nothing has changed? Where did I say nothing has changed? All I implied was they were a top team under woodcroft last year. I brought it up because some people downplay the Canucks early success against them as if something was drastically different then in a negative way. That roster at the start of the season was basically same that finished as one of the top teams last year. i get it that they have improved their defensive play under Coffee et al, but I also think the Canucks have improved their roster too. Canucks will be in tough - I don’t know how goaltending will hold up over the long term without Demko. Also don't know if Petey will get going back to 100 percent. I do think it’s a winnable series. Oilers record against top teams this year isn’t that stellar. Their bottom two lines are a black hole and no matter who is coaching Darnell will be Darnell and skinner still looks like a sieve on some nights. They are also still highly dependant on that one player- we all saw what they looked like without him in that last game vs Vancouver where the division was up for grabs- very ordinary at best.

In the exact same way you are not giving enough credit to Kris Knoblauch for transforming EDM's defensive structure, I see now you are not giving Rick Tocchet enough credit for doing the same. We were winning games at the same clip with guys like Beauvillier and Kuzmenko as we have with Zadorov and Lindholm. Hell, this forum had major buyer's remorse when Lindy was struggling (before injury). Don't underestimate what a completely new coaching staff can do to a team. Even scrubs like Nurse and Brown have been playing extremely disciplined hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 8 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: Pity vote. It was a 1-0 game where Saros made a number of rediculous saves. We should have won 4or5-0. Saros was the best player in that game. Arty was great but really only had to make tough saves a couple times. Saros was under siege for most of the game especially early 1st and third. Arty doesn’t look as big as Demko, he isn’t as calm and smooth looking, he doesn’t look soft like Demko where everything just gets sucked into his pads but my god for a rookie goalie to come in to an elimination game and have the balls to make some of the poke checks he did. What a story he is. Gotta keep it rolling against the Oil. Tough task beating them early in the playoffs when the refs are still making calls, and they give way too much respect to McDavid.

I don’t bring up Tocchets transformation of our defensive structure in a two paragraph post and you just assume I don’t recognize it? lol ok. I’ve also been a big Lindholm supporter in case I should spell that out too, I don’t underestimate the oilers. i see they have weaknesses like everyone else. 1 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even scrubs like Nurse and Brown have been playing extremely disciplined hockey. From what I have seen of the Oil, I would say yeah you are probably right but they are a streaky team and have been for years. ‘This is what I was saying early in the year when they were the worst team in the league and I don’t think that changed with Knoblauch. Coaching bump absolutely helped them get on the current hot streak. ‘Just got to frustrate them and get them back in their cold streak. ‘It will be a more entertaining series definitely. Will get to see if the Arty Party is real as this is going to be a bigger challenge for him than the one line Preds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillisD Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 What a great morning! GCG! A big "shut the hell up" to all those who didn't believe Silos is soooo calm.

Lol They're too stupid to know if the league reffed a fair series, canucks would have swept them. The Canucks were scared to go all out because they knew they'd be penalized while Nashville did whatever they wanted to do with no repercussions. Basically the canucks beat them with one hand tied behind their backs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Boudrias Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 As the Canucks jet out of Nashville they can reflect on this series win with a degree of satisfaction. The vaunted structure that Rutherford and Allvin talked about prior to the Tocchet hire was on full display. Yes, Silvos came in and played very impressive goal but IMHO it was the d-core that won this series. That and the domination by the centers in the FO circle. Special kudo to Brock Boeser who was key to at least 2 wins. The Oilers: They will be a huge challenge for the Canucks as their game is very good. The big difference is their defense since Paul Coffey came in. Their TOI has been rebalanced and Coffey is activating their d-men much more. Hyman has been a gamer. I still question their goal tending as the improved play infront has shielded the net much better. The Canucks: Were the Preds any slower or less offensive than the Oilers over the past 2 months? Not really. The Oiler ability to grind has definitely improved but the Preds were very good at that game. Going into the next series IMHO the Canucks have a bit of a edge in Game 1 because their series was a tougher one than the Oilers had against LA. Canucks d-side game was top notch, their centers were very good and of course Silovs was excellent. Can Miller, Joshua and Zad bang up McDavid and gang enough to slow them down? I think so. Canucks take Game 1 and it will throw some doubt into the Oiler mantra. Canucks offense: Canucks offence was playing better than what the score board showed. If this offense can produce 3 goals a game it should be enough to win. The weapons are there even if a little rusty. Maybe a little oil will help. It isn't just Petey who is in a funk. The center ice FO% is starting to dominate. Canucks defense: This is the strength of this team. Both Meyers and Zad are playing like top 4 d-men. Yes, the Oilers will watch the Preds film and want to duplicate the physical play on Hughes. The d-side physical game can truly disrupt the Oilers. To be successful the Oiler PP has to score. If the Canucks can shut that down the frustration level for their team will amp up. Soucy and Cole as the 3rd pairing have done a nice job. Goaltending: It is Zilovs net until Demko is ready. The way he is playing it won't be a rush to bring Demmer back in. I was stunned last night when Zilovs gloved a screen shot off the point that was labeled for the corner. Lauzon I think. How he saw that shot is a real head scratcher. Skinner is playing a solid game but I still question how good he is. Injuries: Is Petey nursing an injury? I don't see it. He was hitting last night, taking shots and throwing passes. Hughes is the big ? He drives the offense on many nights. He took a lot of heavy hits. Tocchet has balance the TOI more which is a very good idea. Soucy's ice hasn't grown. Does he have a lingering problem? Canucks swept the series this year against Edmonton. Win Game 1 and keep home ice advantage. Go Canucks!!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you play contact free hockey you open yourself up to bad calls. If you know that's how they're calling it, it's up to you not out yourself in those situations. Ant that's pretty hyperbolic, I doubt you'll see many more calls than normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
